Pigeons mainly feed on miscellaneous grains, such as wheat, buckwheat, sorghum, corn, peas, mung beans, pockmarked seeds and peanuts. At least two kinds of feed should be mixed when feeding, such as wheat, corn, sorghum ***3, pea 1, and wheat, corn, sorghum ***3, pea 1 and pockmarked 1 during training.
In addition to miscellaneous grains, it can also supply green feed and mineral feed such as vegetables, Chinese cabbage and wheat seedlings. Mineral feed can be bought from carrier pigeon associations all over the country. It can also be matched by itself, which generally meets the needs of homing pigeons.

Pigeon feeding point:
Pigeons live on plant food. Corn, rice, wheat and sorghum in cereals, peas, mung beans, broad beans and miscellaneous beans in beans are all good feeds. Cereals can account for 2/3 and beans for 1/3.
During the feeding period, the content of protein in feed can account for about 65,438+08% for breeding pigeons and 65,438+05% for young pigeons, and sand, salt, minerals and multivitamins are properly mixed. It is best to feed pigeons with fully mixed pellet feed. Meat pigeons are large in size and consume a lot of feed; Carrier pigeons and ornamental pigeons consume less substances than meat pigeons 1/3 or so.
According to its weight110, the daily feed consumption can be roughly calculated. In addition, a pigeon needs to drink about 30 ~ 60 ml of water every day. Artificial incubation and feeding young pigeons with synthetic pigeon milk can improve the reproductive rate of breeding pigeons.
